Over the years, I've read comments in audio reviews and other publications noting the mediocre quality of the audio equipment often owned by professional musicians. The "explanation" sometimes offered is that musicians hear the music clearly in their head, and don't need great sound systems to compensate. If that's true (and I'm not sure it is anymore), and Herbie Hancock is pushing Bose equipment, then it would be interesting to see what kind of system Herbie owns.....
Bose Infomercial
I was up late last night and this infomercial for the Bose Music Wave came on. The "host" was Herbie Hancock. Interesting I watched it for about 1/2 hour - got tired of the same testimonials. May be the best thing on the box. Now I don't mean to disparage lifestyle systems too much and I can see their appeal (no wires, portability) but this was some very slick advertising for what I thought was just a ghetto blaster. It really highlighted the difference between the people that visit this site and the rest of the world. Evantually I had to put on my headphones just to reassure myself that all the components and wires are worth it. Highly recommend you give it a watch. I wonder how much Herbie got paid.
